Pretty sharp indeed. Noveske products shoot lights out, make no bones about it!

I believe that is what Stick was refering to when he said he took some pics for a new Noveske product. Pretty sweet looking indeed.

I just received my Rogue Hunter upper today. I really like it, and the weight is quite low with great balance. Looking forward to a little time with it on Saturday…

Just a note: The rail appears to be a Troy TRX Extreme Battlerail but mine did not include any quick-attach rail sections.

Very nice. That would make for a nice hunting 6.8. My 6.8 (WOA barrel) weighs a ton.

I need to bump this up with a request for a range report.
I am looking hard at this upper and I’m curious as to how well it groups with various ammo. Thanks!

So far informal shooting suggests this will be a good combination. I might get the chance to sight it in this weekend with a Leupold 3.5x10 Mark 4 scope (can only get 90yds though). I plan on trying SSA 85gr Barnes TSX and 110gr Sierra Pro Hunter, both in Tactical Load.

Thanks for the update. I’m very interested in how those 110 gr perform in the 12" twist.

8

I have one on order, hopefully I’ll be able to sight it in next week.
Im thinking of trying my TR24G on it for kicks… :smiley:

You won’t be disappointed. My Noveske 12.5" crusader barrel grouped the SSA Barnes 110 gr TSX with 5 shots at 0.95" with a poor rest and 20+ mph winds and I’m not a good shot! I imagine the 16"barrel will be just as good, if not better.

10

Can you please post a picture? The pictures on the web doesn’t show much. Thanks.

here ya go

12

Mine should arrive today :smiley:
I picked up the SS Vortex last week, thanks for the heads up.
still debating optics, but I dont see a NF on mine :stuck_out_tongue:

13

what ranges do you anticipate on your hunt? Do you need BDC?

14

300m and less.
I have a TR24G, Im going to stick on it for now, just to get a feel for the caliber, prolly go on a doe and hog hunt with it soon to break it in…

15

anyone know who has them in stock now?

Save one for me! I’m still working at getting my money together. Life keeps interrupting.

17

I have mine assembled and ready to sight in, it is a sweet piece. Noveske did a supurb job on this thing.
I may have found my new favorite. :smiley:
I’ll try and take some pics tomorrow.

very nice. Must save tax refund.
